The Great Sorcerer
Caramel #5

In a vacuum, a warmth slowly crept through Adam's entire body, and the longer it took, the more comfortable Adam's body, as if to force Adam to remain in that warmth.

“Adam... Adam.

A faint voice called out to him, and it troubled Adam a little, but Adam ignored him and continued to enjoy the warmth.

“ADAAM! ADAM!”

The voice grew louder and now it felt like something was touching it.

*PLAK!*

Suddenly Adam felt something slap him on the cheek, and Adam woke up.

And immediately saw the dull face of Antonio right in front of his eyes.

“HUA!” Adam was a little surprised, and immediately tried to get up and away from Antonio's face from before him.

Adam looked around, looking at Amalia and Clara who were also beside him, as well as Marco and Tristian who were standing behind Amalia and Clara with slightly anxious faces.

Adam was a little confused, why many people surrounded him, but not long ago they lay unconscious.

And Adam realized that he had just died, with a hole in his chest.

Adam then groped his body, especially on the chest. However, there were no wounds or blood spots on his body or clothes.

Instead, Adam felt as healthy as ever thanks to the healing magic of Amalia and Clara.

“Adam, what's wrong with you?” Antonio asked who had seen the strange scene from his friend.

“What happened?” Ask Adam back.

“I don't know either. But it looks like the test has finished.” Reply Antonio sambal glanced at Pharsa who was still kneeling limp on the ground with his brother Lewis who stood behind him.

Adam then glanced at Pharsa, and tried to look him in the eye, but Pharsa tried to avoid Adam's gaze by lowering his head.

*Tap Tap Tap*

Lewis then walked over to Adam. “Adam, are you okay?”

“I-Yes I'm fine” Adam replied with a little stammering.

“Alright then, we should return the day already afternoon.” Lewis.

***

Adam and the others return to Roraima's general academy using Lewis's teleportation magic.

“Huh. Looks like I'm getting used to that teleportation magic.” Tirap Marco.

“Alright, for the announcement of the test results, will be notified via a letter that will be sent to your home within the next week.” Lewis.

Pharsa, who initially much underestimated Adam and others, now looks silent and stiff since then.

“Heh, it looks like my attack just now can make you quiet like this.” Chirp Antonio.

Hearing that, Pharsa was annoyed and wanted to beat up Antonio who was depicted through his face, but Pharsa did not dare because from earlier Adam looked at him.

“But really, it was the biggest fireball attack I've ever seen.” Tristian.

With a muddled face. “Antonio, are you still hiding your strength?” Connect Marco.

Hearing the compliments from his friends made Antonio a little embarrassed and happy. “Yeah... I also made a fireball that big for the first time.” Antonio replied with an awkward smile.

Adam actually wanted to ask Pharsa something, because Adam remembered the last time was that Pharsa had killed him and had suddenly awakened to this state. But Pharsa still tried to avoid Adam, so Adam could not ask Pharsa.

“I can only take you here, until we meet again.” Lewis uses his teleportation magic back, and leaves along with Pharsa leaving Adam and the others in front of the gate of the Roraima academy.

“It looks like we should also go back.” Amalia.

“Iya, it's getting dark.” Connect Clara.

Adam, Amalia, and Antonio return home together, while Clara returns accompanied by Marco and Tristian, Tristian lives in the village opposite Marco and will separate in the middle of the road.

Antonio walked while stretching his hands. “Today is very tiring.”

“Yes, many things happened today.” Reply Amalia.

“But really, I still can't believe I can make a fireball that big. Looks like my dream of becoming a sorcerer is one step closer.” Antonio.

Meanwhile, Adam with many questions still ringing in his head and trying to remember the whole incident that happened, Adam walked while slightly bowing his head without taking a word, making the trip a little awkward.

Antonio, watching from earlier, recalled that he had almost killed Adam, and assumed that Adam had thought about it.

“A-dam.” Call Antonio. “Ehh... I'm sorry about the incident.”

Amalia was a little worried about Adam, because only this time Adam seemed to think so hard. “Adam.” Amalia said slowly.

Feeling ignored, Antonio became annoyed.

*Plak*

Antonio hit Adam on the head.

“Aduh!” Adam became aware of his daydream.

“You are why? From earlier I noticed you were thinking something.” Tegur Antonio's.

Adam was a little surprised by the reprimand. “Aah... No, I'm fine.” Reply Adam.

But Adam's answer did not convince Antonio at all, and felt that there must be ‘-what-’ to Adam.

But Antonio chose to keep quiet and not question anymore and went on that awkward journey.

Upon arriving at the village, Adam immediately separated from Antonio and Amalia. “Antonio, Amalia.. I first yes.” Pamit Adam and go straight to his house.

“Antonio, What happened to Adam huh?” Ask Amalia who has been worried about Adam.

“Maybe she's seen a ghost.” Answer Antonio. “He would have met a ghost immediately silent like that.” Further.

“Antonio! I'm serious!” Shouted Amalia with annoyance.

“No idea, I also just first saw it like that.”

When he got home, Adam was immediately greeted by his mother who had been waiting for him restlessly in the living room.

With a face full of hope, Irene immediately approached Adam. “Where are the test results nak?”

“Not yet to know ma'am, the announcement is next week.” Adam replied briefly.

After that Adam went straight to his room without talking to his mother.

Seeing that, Irene guessed that the exam did not go smoothly, especially to enter the special academy were people who had a high level of magic power.

Irene then let Adam leave, and gave Adam time to rest, given how hard Adam prepared himself for this test.

Meanwhile, in the room, Adam lay in his bed while continuing to remember what really happened.

The last thing Adam remembered was fainting from Antonio's fireball attack, then waking up to Pharsa's giggling and seeing his friends had been unconscious on the ground. After that Pharsa attacked the chest until pounding it.

And then Adam woke up again but he saw that all his friends were fine.

The more Adam remembered it, Adam's head became dizzy, his vision became blurred and swirled, in the end Adam fell asleep in his bed.

***

A great blazing fire, burning everything in front of him.

On the blaze, there was a jet black and large shadow. The shadow is like a human body, but it is like an animal's horn on its head.

“GRRRR!” Suddenly the shadow growled, sounding like an animal yet the voice boomed loudly throughout the direction.

And in the hands of the creature there is a bright green-colored crystal stone that looks like a stranger.

Suddenly the creature ate the stone. As the flames grew more intense, hysterical screams like humans began to be heard.

Voices of moaning, crying were heard everywhere.

The figure of the black shadow became bigger, and a red light appeared on his forehead, then his red eyes lit up.

It was Adam's own shadow.

“HUAAAA” Adam was very surprised to see the reflection of his body in the eyes of the creature.

Adampun woke up from his sleep, and his mother was squeezing a wet handkerchief beside him.

“I-Mother..”

Suddenly Irene's tears dripped over her cheeks. “A-dam...” Said her mother in a slightly stuttered voice.

Adam was very confused by his mother's expression.

“Mother got-”

*grab*

Irene then immediately hugged Adam very tightly and cried. “Adaaaaaam!!!”

“Bu, Mother why? I just woke up.” Adam tried to let go of his mother's powerful embrace.

But Irene's embrace could not be removed and the crying became hysterical. “You've slept 3 days.”
